The student band played last year at the Yale game at New Haven...
...days. The onside kick was also tried a number of times by him and by Wendell, and the tendency of the backs was to play a very open game. Several new plays were tried out, the most successful being a quarterback run by Newhall on which he made some good gains. The ends and backs on both teams afforded excellent interference to the runner on end plays, and for that reason these plays were often used...
